FAQs

What is the average lifespan of a tank water heater?

The average lifespan of a tank water heater typically ranges from 8 to 12 years. However, this can vary depending on the quality of the unit, maintenance practices, and water quality in your area. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your tank water heater.

How often should I have my tank water heater serviced?

It is recommended to have your tank water heater serviced at least once a year. Annual maintenance involves checking the pressure relief valve, flushing the tank to remove sediment build-up, inspecting the anode rod, and ensuring all heating elements are functioning properly.

What are the signs that my tank water heater needs to be replaced?

Common signs that your tank water heater may need to be replaced include: inconsistent or no hot water, rusty water, strange noises from the unit, water leaks around the tank, and a decrease in water heating efficiency. If your water heater is near the end of its lifespan and exhibiting any of these symptoms, it might be time for a replacement.

Can I install a tank water heater myself?

While it is possible to install a tank water heater yourself, it is not recommended unless you have experience with plumbing and electrical work. Improper installation can lead to serious issues such as water damage, electrical hazards, and voiding the unit's warranty. It is best to hire a professional plumber to ensure a safe and proper installation.

What size tank water heater do I need for my home?

The size of the tank water heater you need depends on the size of your household and your hot water usage. A typical guideline is that a 30-40 gallon tank is suitable for a 1-2 person household, a 50-60 gallon tank for 3-4 people, and a 75+ gallon tank for households with 5 or more people. A professional can help you determine the best size for your needs.

Are tankless water heaters better than tank water heaters?

Both tank and tankless water heaters have their pros and cons. Tank water heaters are typically less expensive to purchase and install, and they provide a large quantity of hot water instantly. However, they consume more energy due to constant heating. Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient, provide endless hot water on demand, and last longer, but they are more expensive upfront and may have higher installation costs. The best choice depends on your specific needs and budget.
